Beneath the draped moss and mournful cypress trees, Frank Delaney is running out of places to hide. Once a decorated police officer, now a broken man drowning in booze and guilt, he returns to daily life in his small southern lake town after the bottle nearly kills him. What he finds waiting isn't just his estranged wife or the ruins of his past—but whispers, secrets, and shadows that cling as tightly as the humidity.

When Frank stumbles into the rooms of recovery, the steps offer him a way out. But every step forward dredges up ghosts—his brother's death, the wreckage of his choices, and a sponsor with his own buried sins. The deeper Frank goes into the program, the more the town itself seems to breathe with memory and menace. Somewhere between confession and forgiveness, between the lake's dark waters and the cypress roots that drink them, Frank must decide: will he be consumed by the past, or will he finally lay it to rest?

Where the Cypress Weeps is a southern Gothic mystery of grief, redemption, and the uneasy line between haunting and healing.
